For immunoblots, equal total protein of cell lysates (2.5–20 μg) were detected with antibodies to mouse p53 (FL393), human p53 (PAb1801; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), HSF1, p-Ser326 HSF1, AKT, pAKT, Erk, pErk, Hsp70, Hsp90, Hsp90α, EGFR, EGRF-Tyr845P (all Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), ErbB2, actin, GAPDH, GTS, GFP, HSc70 and HDAC1 (all Neomarkers, Fremont, CA, USA).35 (link), 36 (link), 37 (link) SDS-PAAG gels (6%) were used to detect slower migrating HS-activated HSF1 used in experiments presented in Figures 2 and 3. SDS PAAG (10%) gels were used in all other experiments. Co-immunoprecipitations were performed with 1 μg of antibody overnight. Beads were washed with SNNTE and RIPA buffers 3 × each, followed by blotting.
